Hey Mcbrat... I saw a Hofner style Electra bass in a local shop yesterday. It has the comic style Electra logo on the headstock. Kinda cool looking, but I don't play bass. Would you know the desireability and reasonable price for such an animal? Looks to be in good condition.

I saw your other post on that bass. The string spacing is tight and best played with a pick. I didnt really like it. I got about 400 for it but it took me a while to sell it...

well, the tuning pegs I bought had too large a footprint to use, so I ended up ordering some black Grover Titan machines. man are they smooth!

so it's strung up now (as of last night), letting the neck acclamate to the string pressure. might need a shim at the top of the neck pocket... saddles are adjusted up all the way, and it's just about right...

Looks like that bridge covers up almost all of those holes, good choice! How does she play? I wonder if the balance is a bit neck heavy with the smaller body? Is that a series/parallel switch? I like those big red knobs too. Congratulations!

I wonder if the balance is a bit neck heavy with the smaller body? So far it feels pretty good. doesn't feel neck heavy really, but with the shorter body it hangs differently. still not quite used to that. The neck feels really good. makes my neck thru corsair feel like a baseball bat...

Is that a series/parallel switch? Yes, it's a series/parallel switch from an X-640.I like those big red knobs too. Congratulations!
